Every speaker at the NYU Entrepreneurs Festival is a current or previous NYU student! Come learn from them during the keynote speeches, panel talks, and other presentations.

The NYU Entrepreneurs Festival highlights the amazing startup community of both current and graduated NYU students. The alumni startup exhibition will be on Friday, while current students will display on Saturday. At the student exhibition, attendees will vote for their favorite startups to compete in The Pitch on Saturday night. The 3 startups with the most votes will pitch to a panel of venture capitalists for a chance to win $1,000 for their startup!

Each roundtable is a small group discussion about a specific topic of interest led by one industry professional. Attendees are welcome to move from table to table to meet and learn from entrepreneurs and professionals in a diverse range of industries!

Come hear how our accomplished headlining speakers channeled their experiences as NYU students into becoming some of the most innovative and successful leaders in their industries! Check out this year’s keynote speakers below.

These interactive seminars, led by industry professionals, allow you to collaboratively learn about the different stages of entrepreneurship and give you a chance to ask specific questions in a smaller, classroom-like setting about legal and financial issues.

Come listen to NYU entrepreneurs and venture capitalists share their experiences! Panel topics range from cutting edge technology to starting a startup while in school to the future of food innovation.

No technical experience is required. Please bring a laptop. Dinner will be served!

After our student startup exhibition on Saturday, attendees will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite student startup. The three teams with the most votes will pitch to our panel of venture capitalists for a chance to win $1000!
